Music Fom The Sea

Rating: 10/10 (11 June 2008)

1900: "Take piano: keys begin, keys end. You know there are 88 of them. Nobody can tell you any different. They are not infinite. You're infinite... And on those keys, the music that you can make... is infinite. I like that. That I can live by..."
One of the best films I ever stumbled across, and one of the most underrated. An orphan born on a ship in the year 1900, becomes a piano prodigy, and spends his life with the passengers and crew, unable or unwilling to set foot on land. The Piano duel, the sliding storm, and the recording session being the most fun, beautiful, and exhilarating scenes in an American drama in a long time. Great film.
